Audible reviews

Chaotic big room planning meetings achieves nothing but confirmation bias Mid-higher management has no coherent strategy of growth The audiobook industry and audio industry at large has low barrier of entry. The golden days of fueling the growth via Amazon traffic is gone Very high staff overhead. The HR has no idea how to retain talent. Most people just get the stocks and leave. Career growth opportunity is very limited. And the tech is roughly 2-3 years behind. 1.5 years into the job you will find out you have nothing to learn , no interesting problem to solve and no way to go except Amazon Managed to lose lots of user as a digital content company during covid Chaotic management with large Corp bureaucracy Product owner and product manager kiss each other more than negotiate. Most of the managers are so new (3 year older managers mostly left) they can’t really own the product, leaving product manager to ask for half-baked features without taking part in the scrum or owning anything of the delivery pipeline. Then there is technical product manager whose responsibilities are very lofty. The whole system is quite unique and strange at least People don’t like to stay more than 3 years, including the HR

Wow. politics, so much politics. Career advancement is not a thing, unless you are part of the click. There is a clear "unconscious" bias in terms of hiring, promotion and career advancement, and frankly the executive leadership is ok with it, because they are oblivious to the games their own leadership plays. Hard work clearly does not pay, all you have to do is be a "favorite" of your manager.
